As network speeds increase, you will need a very good cable. Use it even if your current network is slow - someday you will update.

GDTs take a relatively long time to trigger, permitting a higher voltage spike to pass through before the GDT conducts significant current. It is not uncommon for a GDT to let through pulses of 500 V or more of 100 ns in duration. In some cases, additional protective components are necessary to prevent damage to a protected load, caused by high-speed let-through voltage which occurs before the GDT begins to operate. Many GDTs are light-sensitive, in that exposure to light lowers their triggering voltage. Therefore, GDTs should be shielded from light exposure, or opaque versions that are insensitive to light should be used. high speed avalanche diodes divert excess energies on the network to ground A TVS diode is a type of Zener diode, also called an avalanche diode or silicon avalanche diode (SAD) https://www.amazon.com/APC-PNET1GB-ProtectNet-Standalone-Protector/dp/B000BKUSS8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465746737&sr=8-1&keywords=ethernet+surge+suppressor APC PNET1GB ProtectNet Standalone Surge Protector for 10/100/1000 Base - T Ethernet Lines https://www.amazon.com/Ethernet-Surge-Protector-Gigabit-1000Mbs/dp/B00805VUD8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1465746737&sr=8-2&keywords=ethernet+surge+suppressor Ethernet Surge Protector PoE+ Gigabit 1000Mbs - LAN Network Lighting Surge Suppressor/Arrester TP302 ... https://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_429706962_1?ie=UTF8&node=10529927011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=product-alert&pf_rd_r=6EH6YX08TFC02QPSK0W7&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=2033310062&pf_rd_i=B00805VUD8 Surge Protectors Buying Guide ******** https://www.amazon.com/Ethernet-Protector--Outdoor--Gigabit-1000Mbs/dp/B008060BU0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1465746737&sr=8-4&keywords=ethernet+surge+suppressor Ethernet Surge Protector -Outdoor- for PoE+ Gigabit 1000Mbs - LAN Network Lighting Surge Suppressor/Arrester - TP303 ... >> It does great at what it is ment to do. However, i dont believe that it will throughput gigabit. My gigabit switch believes it is connected to a 100 megabit source. The source is from my gigabit router and this is the only break in that connection. I will try a different gigabit surge solution and report back >> All of these surge protectors really need shielded cable though, so keep that in mind. https://www.amazon.com/SEDNA-Ethernet-Protector-Lightning-Arrester/dp/B00MMKZSGM/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1465746737&sr=8-7&keywords=ethernet+surge+suppressor SEDNA - Ethernet LAN Surge Protector / RJ-45 RJ45 Surge Protector Lightning Arrester https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Network-Protector-DNET1/dp/B0000510HR/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1465746737&sr=8-9&keywords=ethernet+surge+suppressor Tripp Lite Network and Phone 120V/230V In-Line Surge Protector (DNET1) Surge suppression utilizing high speed avalanche diodes divert excess energies on the network to ground The DNET1 cannot work well with Gigabit Switches or cards. http://www.tripplite.com/datashield-serial-in-line-surge-protector-db25~DB25ALL/ http://www.tripplite.com/datashield-serial-in-line-surge-protector-db9~DB9/ http://www.tripplite.com/products/surge-buying-guide http://www.tripplite.com/applications/home-theater http://www.woodsmall.com/ = Woodsmall's MAIN Web Page c 1987 - 2017
